The Paul McBeth Foundation will develop and introduce sustainable disc golf experiences in underserved locations with limited or no access to the sport.
McBETH FOUNDATION’s giving is defined by large, repeat support for local service providers in Orange County and San Diego County, with some grants reaching six figures across multiple years. The pattern is visible in grants to Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, which received $110,000 in 2023, another $110,000 in 2024, and $113,500 in 2025 for food, medication, and emergency care. Another recurring beneficiary, New Vista School in Laguna Hills, received $100,000 in 2023 and 2024, then $100,000 again in 2025 for computer training for autistic students. The foundation also backs direct-service organizations serving vulnerable groups, including Make-a-Wish Orange County, Casa Teresa, and Beyond Blindness. Beyond human services, its recent grants include support for animal care and conservation, arts education, and equipment for clinical labs. McBETH FOUNDATION also operates formal project and course-installation programs for disc golf, with applications accepted from community groups, schools, universities, and local partners seeking to build sustainable courses and related resources. That combination of community grants and sport-infrastructure support shapes the foundation’s public profile.
In disability services and early intervention, McBETH FOUNDATION backed Beyond Blindness with $100,000 in 2025 and $95,000 in 2024 for an early intervention program, and funded United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego at $100,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for a mobile toy and software library plus Project College. In children’s and family support, it gave Make-a-Wish Orange County $110,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 for wishes for ill children. Emergency housing and basic needs also appear in the grant record: Casa Teresa received $100,000 in 2024 and again in 2025 for an emergency maternity shelter and resource center, while San Clemente Village was funded at $100,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for food and shelter for needy residents. The foundation’s arts and recreation interests are reflected in grants to South Coast Symphony for a family concert plan and young stars concert, and to Teri Inc. for performing arts for special needs.
Typical grants cluster around six figures, with a p25 of $30,000, median of $60,000, and p75 of $87,500. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. McBETH FOUNDATION is a regular funder and also funds individuals. Its grantmaking is project-oriented, with a strong emphasis on direct service, equipment, and program support. The organization also accepts unsolicited project requests through its disc golf-related application channels, along with builders club membership support and corporate partnerships.
